[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1562805, member: 6145"] Just go ahead and get a few sessions under your belt. It helps to be trained in the proper grip, stance both feet and arms. If is like golf, if your fundamentals are correct then you have a good chance to do OK under pressure. Holster should cover the trigger, buy mag holders or just put them in a pocket or waist band at first, you will need a cover garment. This time of year you can wear a T-shirt and a regular shirt over this as a cover garment. simple and inexpensive and represents what you might actually be wearing in the summer months to cover your gun. When you join a group, they will have a walk thru at each station where it is explained in detail. new shooters are treated well at Oil capital. Just let your group know you are new and they will help you. You can't get all the rules at first, so plan to make a few mistakes but don't worry about them. You could be shooting from one foot to 25 yards, so if you can practice at distance, 15, 20 , 25 yards it will be helpful. Also, i would suggest practicing with a piece of brown or white paper, i..e a target without any lines, targets, bulls eye etc. At home you can practice drawing from holster and changing mags. Just go real slow at first and don't worry about your score or time, it is a learning process. it will be real hot in july (unless we get a cool front). they have water at each station but i usually drink a big gator aid before the match and have another one with me. I think it is very fun. On the serious side, i think anyone who carries CCW should do IDPA. Your first IDPA will show you just how much you do not know about protecting yourself with a gun and what you need to work on. [/QUOTE]
